Is This The Downfall of Minecraft?

I decided to go through the history of the Minecraft updates, spin-off games, and community to really answer the question, "Is Minecraft getting worse?" I talk about everything, from Mob votes to Youtubers, and from Minecraft Story Mode and Minecraft Legends to Minecraft Earth and Minecraft Dungeons.

What do you think? Do you agree with some of the opinions? Should I do more video essays like this one? Make sure to subscribe because this took a LONG time, and one more thing.. Have a great day!

Also, since I've been making this video, there have been changes to the information.
The mob found in the game files is the Illusioner, not the Iceologer.
Mojang fixed villager trading as well, so better enchantments are harder to get.
Yes, I forgot to talk about Hermit Craft, I'm sorry..
Also, the creators added to the QSMP are Brazilian, not Portuguese.

Let me know if I missed anything else.

    Ah the mob vote. Probably the biggest mistake Mojang has made.
  • @BurgerCreeper_
    playing Minecraft Story Mode was the most nostalgic thing I ever done. the creativity, everything, even 6 year old me tried recreating the places I saw. it was fantastic.
  • I feel like the “we’ll have all 3 but vote for what you want first” was the best way to go about it
  • @nomnom2298
    1:27 The only reason the phantom turned out as a "mistake" is because of the way mojang implemented them, the phantom would be far less annoying if Mojang did the bare minimum and made them require light level 0 to spawn above a block and even so, much more could've been done to make the phantom an actual mob and not a random annoyance.
  • @angelob2383
    Lmao dream didn’t “do that as a joke” he genuinely thought the glow squid would add dynamic lighting
  • The mob votes were a terrible idea. Did they really think that people would all be happy if they didnt get their option? There will always be upset players because of the votes
  • What’s killing Minecraft is Mojang, all the new rules and censorship being enforced by Microsoft, deleting old accounts, banning certain servers and mods, they’re burning the whole thing to the ground right now, they’re even making it harder to go back and play older versions of the game now because they “don’t have the important safety features” so it feels like I can’t even go back and play the game I bought 12 years ago
  • @megadustone
    A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN ME, SO I NEED THIS TO BE SEEN. The mob in the game files is the Illusioner, not the Iceologer. I was wrong! My point still stands though, because the other options are terrible.. Also, yes, I did forget to talk about Hermit Craft, that's my bad. AND BRAZILIANS WERE ADDED TO THE QSMP, NOT PORTUGUESES.
  • @AntonGermanReal
    No matter what happens, Minecraft will always be my favorite game, like it has been for over a decade.
  • The 2 biggest things that are still keeping Minecraft alive are mods and the version selection which sadly isn’t available for Bedrock
  • @spluff
    The iceollager had already been in Minecraft dungeons for a while before the mob vote and was a pretty disliked mob like the phantom, a lot of dungeons players didn't vote for it because of that reason
  • @WhatdoImakethis
    One thing I think they need to understand is sometimes to listen to the players, even if they will need to change the lore they are going for. Like the mobs, Just get rid of the mob vote,since too many people troll with making fake accounts to vote the worst ones. Just make good mobs then if the community likes it, add it. no? dont. And the unwanted or uneccessary items/
  • @hossammoah
    Correction: The part where Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor trying to get back home wasn't in Season 2. Half of Season 1 was defeating the witherstorm and the second half was the same part you talked about. Season 2 was actually about trying to defeat the Admin aka Romeo.
  • @mjm3091
    4:50 A good idea would be bringing old vote mobs as an option in new polls. This would allow everyone to actually prioritise the best option possible and use some of the more underwhelming polls to bring previous second fave options.
  • @thanoscreeper
    Just a small thing to point out, the illager mob you referred isn’t the Iceologer, it’s a different mob called the Illusioner that’s been in the game files since 2017.
  • @SaharatOfficial
    Theres something to be said about logging on after years of not playing. I went from beta 1.8.1 to 1.18.2 not playing the game and i felt like i was in a new world with Pillagers, Trading, Warden, Elecytra, etc. If it gets boring i suggest just stop and come back. I modded 1.19.2 and still rocking strong on my smp world as an adult.
  • @mrdoor12323
    People hate the phantom but the other mobs were just as bad. A blaze with a shield, a mob that pulled you under water when your trying to cross the oceans or a mob thay eats your enchantments
  • This video has almost nothing to do with Minecraft getting better or worse. This is just you rambling for 20 minutes about spin-offs and your nostalgia.
